'''Sphinx''':  A shape created by Bo [[Nordh]] and characterized by a wide domed bowl front cut so as to show birdseye at the center with straight grain radiating out from that point, giving a sunburst pattern.  A similar shape, the Mounted Sphinx, was created by [[Love and Sara Geiger|Geiger Pipes]], but was not created as a variation on the shape.


'''Spur''':  A small protrusion at the bottom of traditional clay pipes to ensure a hot bowl does not burn the table.  Frequently included in cutty pipes made even in briar and meerschaum in later decades as an ornamental element of the cutty shape.  Seen only occasionally today.
